Who do we keep / let go though? For me I think time might be up for Vella, Lovegrove, Fisher, Hodgson (still not sure if he's got what it takes), and have been far from happy with Newton lately, but admittedly on a good day (as rare as they are now with him) he can be a handful.

Lovegrove being classified as club-trained allows us to have more depth. A switch to second-row might do him good - but then Galea and Newton do so many minutes (passim - Matt Cook). Hodgson, I think we have to be patient with - well, we do now, as he's here for 2/3 years. He's still only 21 remember.
Watts, Taylor and Cox could be the foundation of a strong pack for a decade. Equally they could all be playing in the Championships or have gone to the NRL by 2015 - you never can tell.

Yeah fair points mate. If Morgan does leave it'll be interesting to see if another coach sees the talent in Matty Matty Cook.

Not likely to be here though as his contracts up and if Hudgell can't get rid of Morgan then there's no point us giving him a new deal because he won't play.
Lovegrove is worth sticking with, he's had a poor season but he's young enough to get back to last seasons form. I agree he'd be better in the second row, running wide, remember his almost length of the field kick return at Salford?
Maybe the answer is to use him off the bench as an impact second rower and use Galea less, hopefully both would be more effective. Galea gets through an awful lot of defence which must negatively impact on his attacking play.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Sorry, went totally off on a tangent there. Great news, surprised that Dobson's signed for so long, Riolo obviously can't get him an NRL deal.

Not down to Riolo, its Dobson, he has no ambition apparently.

Yes, that'll be it.
